Reception
Gene Alloway reviewed The Murky Deep in a 1993 issue of White Wolf. He stated that the module's organization is simple and clear, and its graphics and layout are positives.[1] He concluded that:
With a little work it could be put in any AD&D setting, though the GM would have to supply more details if the characters got curious minor points (and they always do). The main maps are excellent and the overall product is fun and usable. This is a good basic adventure.[1]
Overall, Alloway rated the module a 3 out of a possible 5.[1]
